Good news
I am pleased to announce that I am proud bearer of a UK Entry Clearance for a Marriage Visitor, after the remarkably efficient British embassy processed my application in a week. It’s so nice to have something less to worry about.
I’ve got a hobby update at Now Doing. A great article on “domestic fiction” here, referring to my all-time favourite book Unless by Carol Shields and Alice Munro with her “deep caves paved with kitchen linoleum.” A gorgeously written article here by Maggie O’Farrell on those who do not, in fact, toddle. On tsunami stories here. Is it bad that I found the headline “Diabetics losing legs unnecessarily” amusing?
I thought the leg thing was priceless. It reminds me of when the Diabetes Association was doing a clothing drive, and I told the lady that diabetics could surely afford to buy their own clothes. Later a friend explained that the clothes were to raise money. Oh.
